I have only scratched the surface of the broad selection tobe found in Yunnan. Because of the variation of elevation the selection ranged from tropical to alpine.Yunnan is truly a paradise for a plant addict like myself. The others, and I have expressed an interest inreturning, and investigating other locations in Yunnan to see what we have missed. Yunnan has been calledthe “Land of Eternal Spring”. I have always enjoyed the spring.18
